The females lay eggs, and the eggs hatch into a caterpillars, and the caterpillars go into cocoon and then they come out a butterfly. Blake: That is very interesting, where can you be found at in the world? Mrs. Buttercup: We are found in
most parts in America. Mrs. Buttercup: We eat pollen and we drink water. Blake: Do all Monarchs survive the migration to Mexico or is the trip more hazardous for others? Mrs. Buttercup: It can be a long boring trip. It can get up to 2500 miles. Most of us make the trip, only the small ones died. Every year the head Monarch monarch says the trip will be the worst one yet. So we spend a hole lot getting ready and it was an easy trip. Blake: Why is this insect able to
survive? Blake: oh. Can you describe your niche and biome? Mrs. Buttercup: Yes, I can, I am very social where I live, everyone of us do the same job. So, our status is the same. Blake: What is your scientific
